Asked about Erik Ten Hag, This Is Ralf Rangnick’s Answer

DBasia.news – Manchester United interim manager, Ralf Rangnick, refuses to comment too much on rumors of Erik ten Hag joining Old Trafford. Rangnick admitted that he was only focused on preparing to face Everton.

Manchester United is showing real action in looking for a new manager. The English giants even plan to announce the figure of a replacement for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer before the end of this season.

Ten Hag are in close competition with Mauricio Pochettino for this job. Both of them have even had an interview session.

However, Manchester United chose Ten Hag. The two parties are said to be concluding an agreement before it is announced to the public.

Rangnick must have heard these rumors. But he was reluctant to say much to confirm.

“I don’t mean to talk about a possible new manager. What I do know is that the person they are talking to is a top coach,” Rangnick said at a press conference ahead of the game against Everton.

“That judgment also applies to Erik ten Hag. That’s all I can say.”

Not without reason Rangnick stingy talk. Reportedly not involved in the decision-making process regarding the new manager.

Moreover, Rangnick’s name was included in the list of candidates. However, Manchester United’s lack of convincing performance recently made his name thrown from the list of candidates.

“I know which ones they have spoken to so far. That’s why I can say all the coaches spoken to are top coaches.”

“As you know, we have agreed a contract making me the following and we will talk about it in the next few weeks. I’m pretty sure of that, but my focus is on the Everton game.”

Rangnick must be fully focused on bringing Manchester United to the top four. Currently, the opportunity for Cristiano Ronaldo and his friends to realize this target is relatively small.
